Those who were wondering whether former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort still “had it” at the age of 36 were given a definitive answer during the main event of Saturday’s UFC on FX, as “The Phenom” knocked Luke Rockhold out with a perfectly executed spinning heel kick, followed by a flurry of punches. That […]

If you’ve watched Bloodsport, the Rocky series, or any other boxing, kickboxing or martial arts movie, you are probably well aware of what a fake punch looks like. You know, the one that knocks an opponent off their feet, before sending their lifeless body to the canvas? Well, apparently, sometimes that sort of knockout punch […]

Jon “Bones” Jones received plenty of accolades for beating Chael Sonnen by TKO during the first round of their UFC 159 main event, despite dealing with a disgusting broken toe. But one honor that he would not receive on Saturday night was “Knockout of the Night.” That award went to Roy “Big Country” Nelson, who […]

So I came across this clip on YouTube called “Karate Knockout The greatest ever.” It was uploaded on March 22, 2013, and it had no description at all—doesn’t say when the clip was shot, what event it came from, or who the combatants are. Obviously, I’m thinking, “Greatest ever? Sure, right.” Then I start watching […]

Perhaps the only thing better than seeing one person getting knocked out during a mixed martial arts bout is seeing both combatants get KO’d. And that is exactly what we were treated to during the following amateur MMA fight between Aaron Britt and Brandon Alexander at Galaxy Fight Night IV in Yuba City, California on Saturday. […]

I’ve got to hand it to MMA fighters. Regardless of their actual skill or fitness level, these men and women are brave. I’d definitely be way too scared that, upon entering the octagon, I’d get kicked in the head and knocked unconscious within the first ten seconds…kind of like the guy in the video we’re […]

You are just as likely to spot a sexually suggestive act while watching a mixed martial arts event as you are while watching a pornographic film, what with all of the grounding, pounding and mounting exhibited in both. However, during Saturday night’s free UFC event on Fuel TV, those watching the main event between Wanderlei […]

Most MMA fighters will bend over backwards just to get a chance at fighting in front of their hometown fans, figuratively speaking. As for Gerald Fike, well let’s just say he found himself bending over backwards in order to fight in his hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska, literally. It all took place at SAARFC 2, which is […]

You might think fighting ought to be eliminated from hockey. Or you might think it’s essential and that eliminating it would ruin the game. Or you might think it’s the only thing that makes a game worth watching at all. But regardless of your views on fighting in hockey, you’re going to like this video. […]

Did you ever wonder what The Bachelor would look like if they tailored it to dudes? Well, there’s already a show out there just like that. It’s The Ultimate Fighter on FX. Instead of a bunch of girls living together in a big mansion, it’s a bunch of guys. Instead of having catfights amongst each […]

At the age of 38, Kimbo Slice probably won’t be making an ascent to the top of the boxing world’s heavyweight class, but his 7-0 record since making his professional debut back in May 2011 is impressive, nonetheless–at least, it is to those who refuse to acknowledge the fact that each of those victories came […]

With a victory against Antonia Silva at UFC 156 on Saturday night, heavyweight Alistair Overeem would have been in line for a title shot against Cain Velasquez. So while every MMA fighter in every MMA fight has a lot on the line (namely, avoiding brain damage), Overeem had even more on the line than most. […]

This Florida fan can’t seem to catch a break. On Wednesday night, he painfully watched his Gators get dominated by the supposedly inferior Louisville Cardinals in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl. Later that evening– we imagine– he was drunk and angry and looking to fight anyone who stepped up to him. And he did succeeded […]

On December 8th, Juan Manuel Marquez finally got what he had wanted for so long: a victory against Manny Pacquiao. The Mexican fighter knocked out Pacman with a vicious right hand that sent the Filipino boxer to the floor, where he laid unconscious for quite a while. The victory was a big source of joy […]

Any time an MMA fighter does something that gets compared to a move out of The Matrix, he or she is doing something right. Last Friday was the premier event for a new Canadian MMA promotion called Havoc Fighting Championship. The event, HFC1, was held in Calgary, and regardless of the attendance or the revenue […]
